About Us

We left our civil servant jobs in California (Bill was a police captain and LeAnn was an elementary school teacher) to move to the Midwest in order to provide our daughter with a better place to grow up and get educated. In 2011 we knew no one here and were starting a new chapter. Looking for a different purpose, we decided to become employers. Bill travelled across the country becoming trained in metal refinishing, while LeAnn began studying business. We began our company in 2011 and have been extremely blessed by the relationships we have developed with both our employees and our clients.

Bill is the face of the company and uses his passion for restoration, service and people to lead the technicians and develop relationships with customers. LeAnn turns his passion into a business. She is behind the scenes with responsibility for human resources, procedures and all things legal and financial. As the leader of our woman-owned business, she is responsible for turning the vision into a reality.

We earnestly want to protect your reputation and be a good reflection and investment for your company. All our restoration specialists have been background checked, drug tested, and have received OSHA 30-hour certifications. We maintain a respectable appearance with our uniforms and lack of visible tattoos. We hire professionals who take your property and their work seriously.
